=========================================================
Sloup byl postaven v létech 1715-17 socharem Janem Sturmerem z nákladu meštanu Olomouce a Hranic, kterí se do Potštátu uchýlili v letech 1713–14 pred velkým morem, který v regionu rádil.
Sloup je tvoren ctverhranným zdobným soklem, na jedné strane s nikou s ležící postavou svetce a ctvericí soch svetcu stojících na každém z nároží podstavce. Z toho vyrustá válcový pilír zakoncený korintskou hlavicí, na níž spocívá socha Panny Marie. Kolem morového sloupu se nachází kamenná balustráda.
